Thanks, I found it I'm new to both the Orion system & its terminology - could you point me to where in the document it talks about how to receive, let's say, bandwidth information on Interface ID 117 (the URL to view it in the browser is:

In the start menu under "SolarWinds Orion SDK", there's a link called "Schema Documentation (v3.0)" that has a list of the entity types and their properties. You can also run SWQL Studio, connect to Orion, and explore the object model this way.

The Python sample code included with the SDK has some typo-bugs in it: .json() is a method of the request object, not an attribute, so ()s are required but not included. I posted a fixed, slightly more friendly version here:

Been trying to get IsNull to work under both 1.8 and now 1.9, but I'm getting an error. I'm curious if its actually working or not. Most keywords in SWQL Studio (like SELECT, FROM) end up being highlighted in blue. When I type in IsNull, it stops being blue when I get to the "IsN" point. When I type in the "N" the whole word I'm typing in goes from black to blue. I couldn't think of any keywords that start with "IS" (except for maybe "IS" itself), so I started fooling around and the only combination that keeps the text highlighted blue is "ISA", but nothing beyond that?

So, I'm curious, is IsNull() working? Is it a problem that it isn't staying highlighted in the SWQL studio?

SWQL Studio has a hard-coded list of keywords to highlight. ISNULL isn't in the list, though it should be. Don't read too much into it. ISNULL works fine with SWIS.

"ISA" is a keyword that gets highlighted because it is in SWQL Studio's list. This is an operator in SWQL that doesn't really have a direct equivalent in SQL. It's a boolean operation on types. It tells you whether the left operand is the same as or a subtype (direct or indirect) of the right operand. Example usage:
